Currently all the definitions go into a single file: glib.h, there are
no separate files, please try to follow the convetions in the source code

+* Features
+
+ The source code is designed to allow for different operating
+ system builds of the eglib code.
+
+ Files in src that:
+
+ * Have a plain name: are cross platform, and should work on
+ every operating system.
+
+ * That end in -unix.c: These files contain Unix specific code.
+
+ * That end in -win32.c: These files contain Win32 specific code.
+
+ * That end in -posix.c: Will work on both Windows and Unix,
+ but should not be included for other operating systems.
+
+* Plans: short and long term.
+
+ The short term plans for eglib is to allow Mono to optionally
+ build with it instead of using glib, gmodule and gthread, but
+ the default build will continue to be done against glib 2.0.
+
+ In the long-term we are considering dropping glib as a
+ dependency, considering that Mono requires a modern Unix
+ system to run anyways (for its thread support) it would allow
+ us to fix some of the glib API limitations we have to live
+ with (explicit thread support for example), rework the API to
+ use types from stdint.h and we would be able to drop three
+ external shared libraries.
+
+ This would reduce memory usage for the handful of routines
+ that we use from glib, dynamic linker overhead for those and
+ would allow us to tune the implementation to Mono's needs.
